    Why should people who dislike the album be unable to give it a 0? Should only fans of this album be able to vote? What if I like "the older stuff", and this one just isn't up to par?

Now, if someone were to give it a zero without even listening to the album, that would be problematic. Fortunately, I'm your scapegoat. I haven't heard the album, and don't plan to, but if it is indeed on par with the tracks I've had the misfortune of hearing in the past, it sucks. So blame me for an unfairly (albeit confidently) given 0.… Expand

    The best Nickelback album is around a 5.5 out of 10. This one is a 2.

    "Why don't you keep you're (sic) opinion to your self if you aren't a fan" ... what?! I'm a fan of the rock genre, isn't that enough? And as for Zach "how can you give this album a zero and try to justify your reasons" M... fair question, it's not an offensively godawful album - they've at least honed what they do pretty well, as you blindly loyal fans "Why don't you keep you're (sic) opinion to your self if you aren't a fan" ... what?!

And as for Zach "how can you give this album a zero and try to justify your reasons" M... fair question, it's not an offensively godawful album - they've at least honed what they do pretty well, as you blindly loyal fans can attest - but how can YOU give it a ten? Is it honestly one of the best things you've ever heard? Nickelback are middle of the road. Fives out of tens are in their souls. It's a cheap thrill, not innovative or new. Hero H might be right in saying it's a "greast ablum" but I don't know what that means.… Expand

    It's unfortunate that 0 is the lowest rating - Nickelback deserve worse. They are the worst band to ever have come out of Canada, and we produced Loverboy. I can only assume that those giving this album a 10 were doing that in comparison to the previous tripe this "band" has produced.

    Hey Michael H, in a tender and nice world we wouldn't make fun of your beloved Nickelback and all the other terrible bands you listen to, but truth still needs to be told. It's called opinions, people deserve to hear the good and bad. It would suck if people that disliked something didn't say anything because there would be a lot of misinformed purchases.

    Obviously Zach M. needs his balls reattached. Nickelback is tied with Creed for the spot of worst band on planet earth, and they just keep it up with this piece of shit. And Sean M., buddy, what the fuck is wrong with you? I do see what you mean, Nickelback is exactly like the Beatles and the Replacements. BULLSHIT.

    Why must albums like this exist? More importantly, how can anyone listen to this and think, "Wow, that's an incredibly creative, unique, and talented band!"? This is talentless fluff rock created with the sole intent of FM radio play to the vapid hoi poloi that is 99.9% of radio listeners.

    Yes..........Canada.........your indie music scene has taken you out of "music hell", but I'll never be able to forgive you for this pitiful band. People that support Nickelback have the worst taste in music and have absolutely zero intelligence. Plain and simple.

    God these guys are horrible. Trite lyrics stacked on stilted hooks backed by an image that is such a facade that just hearing their name makes my brain vomit.

    Who are these people below me? Are they really serious? This must be some kind of joke. Quote: "clearly the people that gave this a album a zero dont know anything about music"--that about Nickelback? aka the fourth cycle of grunge lite? completely trite, profoundly unoriginal corporate fm sludge? There's something here.

    One of the worst bands in recent memory. One needs look no further than that the two clone songs "How You Remind Me" and "Someday." How can a band release two songs two years apart that sound nearly exactly the same? A shame to Canadian music and music in general.

    Wow...looks like the same guy decided to raise the rating. Either that or it's just one huge, inbred family. Nice one, guys. You sure know how to show a girl a good time.

    This album was so amazing! This is going to be album of the year without a doubt, there is no one even going to come close to making an album as good as this! Sufjan Stevens? Pssh, let's hear it for Nickelback!

    Notice that everyone who has reviewed this album with a glowing response barely has the intellectual capacity to even remotely command the English language in a correct manner. If you examine that the intellect of the crowd that lauds Nickelback is remarkably apparent. Just like the contrived idiocy of this album.

    Are these people serious about the album of the year comments? This must be the only album they've listened to this year. Someone please stop Nickelback from making another record before it's too late!

    These guys just care a little about the music and a whole lot about one other thing...$$$ and you can really hear it on the CD and in interviews.

    Despite all their newly developed relative nuances, Nickelback remain unchanged: they're still unspeakably awful.

    Less polish and more attitude are welcome changes that fire up the rock numbers and give them more snap. [8 Oct 2005]

    They're exploring a richer, more diverse sound. [28 Oct 2005, p.84]
